About

Most of us agree that healthy food is good for everyone. It improves our health, give us more energy and clears our minds. In recent years there has been an increased focus on super foods around the world, and many of these wonderful natural products have their origin in the blessed land I come from, Peru. We Peruvians are used to hearing from our grandmothers (as they did from theirs) that some foods have healing, almost medicinal powers. These wise women ensure that the next generations embrace these local super products in their daily diet, many times without you even being aware that these ancestral knowledge is transferred to you. This “nutritional legacy”, together with a greater interest in Peruvian superfood from my dear Norwegian friends, are the main reasons why I started a blog in Norwegian called Peruansk Supermat, which I invite you to visit if you are interested in information about Peruvian superfood from the perspective of a Peruvian living in Norway.

In PeruvianSuperfood.com you will find information about super products from Peru, Peruvian Chefs using these super products in their creations as well as useful links and recipes from foodies around the world.
